About Me
C.V.
I earned a Ph.D. and a Master Degree in Social Anthropology & African Diaspora Studies from the University of Texas at Austin and a B.A in Journalism from the Universidade de Ribeirão Preto. Before my current appointment at the University of California, Santa Barbara, I taught Cultural Anthropology and Latin American Politics at the College of Staten Island of the City University of New York and Anthropology of (Post)Conflict/Anthropology of War in the Center for African Diaspora Studies at Universidad Icesi. I was also a postdoctoral researcher at the Africana Research Center (Penn State) and at the Faculdade de Ciencias Sociais/Unesp-Araraquara. My arena of activism includes public journalism, prison/police abolition, and racial justice in Brazil, Colombia and the United States. As a freelancer journalist, I have collaborated with alternative media outlets including The Black Agenda Report, Open Democracy, LaSillaVacia, Adital, Observatorio da Imprensa, Jornal Brasil de Fato, among others.
